Keep it cute like Lauren in a One Day Bridal bandeau

Lauren Bushnell attended the CMT Music Awards with her boyfriend Chris Lane. She opted for a classy yet fun white look including this $500 bandeau top.

We love how she kept the look simple any only played it up using the purse and the hoop earrings. The white skirt had some slits to let her fabulous legs show and her bandeau top showed off her abs nicely. You maybe have thought tube tops and bandeaus were only meant for the day time.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the CMTs, Chris revealed that Lauren had some specific instructions about how he should propose to her — or not propose.

'She's already warned me, if I ever propose, to never do it in an public setting,' he said.

'No, I just said... maybe not on stage,' Lauren interjected. 'Or a little more private than at a show.'

'I hope [Chris proposes],' she continued. 'At the end of the day, we're so happy. I'm not necessarily looking for that next step to change anything. It'll be an exciting time, for sure.'

Lauren mentioned in a March Instagram post that she was 'actually the worst when it comes to putting my feelings and emotions into words,' so it's not surprising that she wouldn't want to be involved in a public display like that.

She also revealed that the couple are looking to expand their family with man's best friend.

'[Dogs] would be a great first step. But she is obsessed with corgis!' Chris said.

'Everyday on Instagram, I just send him like, subtle messages, just constantly photos of corgis,' she admitted.

'I mean, honestly maybe I could [propose with a corgi],' Chris joked. 'That's actually a great idea.'

The couple were also in Nashville when they first revealed their romance in November 2018 at the 66th Annual BMI Country Awards.

She was previously engaged to Ben Higgins of The Bachelor, who had proposed to her in 2016, though they had called it quits by May 2017.

When asked about the then-new relationship between Lauren and Chris, Ben told Entertainment Tonight that he wasn't aware they were dating, though they had been friends during his own courtship.

'I know she always admired him and thought he was a good dude,' he said.

In December, Chris explained to People magazine that his relationship with Lauren bloomed from hanging out with each other.

The Take Back Home Girl singer said prior to dating 'we've been friends for literally several years and just kept in touch here and there, but she went with me to the Bahamas on a random trip.'

He continued: 'We had no idea we were going to end up liking each other and it spawned into what it is now. Take Back Home Girl took on a whole new meaning for me, especially now that she's going to meet my parents.'
